Roadmap?

[salemsayed]

Hi,

So I have some time to work on the app but I was asking if you already have a roadmap that I contribute to to make things faster?

Hey @salemsayed
I dont currently have a clear roadmap of features tbh. I am mostly implementing any feature requested by other users.
Most of the things i have been doing lately are cleaning up and fix any issues in the app, especially with our terminal renderer. Here are things i had in mind to work on tho, if u want to pick them up, i will be glad

• add cloudflare tunnel ssh support
• support for multiplex sessions - tmux/zellij/zmx.sh sessions - This will be option for each host, if a person chose one of these sessions we will execute their new session creation command to create new one and use it to manage tabs.
• add vertical splits to terminal renderer
• speech to text transcription - (i have done some experiments with parakeet model in this regard, but i wasn't satisified with the results, i dont expect anyone to pick up on this tho, since its lower priority for the app)
• KMP migration - (also low priority, i was able to migrate the whole app this weekend, but i will not prirotize this for now as i dont plan to host it on app store, and with out that it will be pointless)

Besides those, i will not be adding any features with out actual users asking for them as i want to keep the app minimal and maintainable. What we need now is more visibility and more users using it so i can identify any issues/crashes or feature requests they want to see.

I will keep this issue open, others can use it to add any feature requests on the discussion. Thanks

That's nice, I like that direction a lot. Personally, the app feels complete for my use cases. I will probably try to take on 1 or 2 of those to help out and see how it goes.

[salemsayed]

I was working on the vertical splits when i found out that chuchu supports tabs and I had no idea! maybe it's not easily discoverable or maybe that's on me, but in both cases the current tabs UX takes a lot of clicks IMO and not very easy to work with. I've sent you a PR #33 with a normal tabbed interface (similar to what I use on ShellFish iOS) that's linked to a global setting to switch between current and this new interface, let me know what you think of this direction.

[jossephus]

Thanks, yeah you are right. I will soon check the PR and see how the tabs look.

KMP migration - (also low priority, i was able to migrate the whole app this weekend, but i will not prirotize this for now as i dont plan to host it on app store, and with out that it will be pointless)

I can help if you want to continue this, even if you not planning, would be nice to have the source code to be able to build from source and run on my personal iphone or ipad for example.

[jossephus]

Hey @DevSrSouza, That would be cool. once we have a working implementation, We can keep it in separate branch 'kmp' and let users install from source.

my kmp version is on 'feat/migrate-to-kmp' if you want to take a look or start off of it. Almost all the screens were migrated except for the actual terminal screen. i needed to figure out how bindings work for ios so the libssh works fine. Let me know if you have any questions.
